I am part of the management team for the collaborative Doctoral Training Centre that runs with Imperial College - www3.imperial.ac.uk/plasticelectronicsdtc - which enables students to undetake a wide range of PhD projects offered by either of the host institutions.

In my spare time I enjoy cycling and previously spent a good deal of time sailing, which I did upto European level, winnning a UK National Championships in 2003 and placing top 3 in various European events. Through sailing I obtained full blues from Edinburgh and Cambridge Universities and learnt alot of valuable transferable skills, by helping support and volunteering my time at clubs and coaching other sailors. I also love being outdoors either in the garden growing as many variety of chillis as I can or climbing up a mountain.
